WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

“The pandemic brought the future of work into the present of work,” said Anthony Klotz, a management professor at Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School.

The move to remote work and changes in job flexibility may not have occurred for another 30 years if not for the crisis, he explained.

While shutdowns meant a quick move to working from home, many employees aren’t returning to the office full time, if at all, as restrictions are relaxed. Others can work from anywhere in the world or just four days a week. Some even have secured flexibility around the hours they work.

“We are not going back to the world of work in 2019”, Klotz said.

Because these work arrangements give us more flexibility and control over our lives, and more autonomy and freedom in how we structure our lives, I don’t think most people are willing to go back to a traditional work environment, he said.

“The new changes are here to stay”, Klotz added.
